Always looking for old gear! to mod or conserve in the "museum of everything else" one day

how would you have solved this problem? out of curiosity! its interesting to hear different peoples approaches :).
I don't even know why i am here sir...
You're very brilliant. I bet you're fan of Led Zeppelin. :0).
Maybe with a massive cpu? Analog switch Ic’s are pretty usefull too, my dad used them to built me a 10 input RGB scart switcher. It uses a microcontroller to control the analog switch chips. Relays are pretty cool, they used to control lifts and these old lift controllers are quite epic.
At this point, for this many vca's you could almost just use an fpga programmed as just a ton of buffered/controllable vcas. Might be worth looking into.
@@dykodesigns but. Thats. A. C O M P U T E R.
You need a second channel. Look Mum A Computer . Where you can show all the stuff you do on the computer for these projects. Like the CAD for yoru 3D prints, and your Arduino programs. :)
You're pretty crazy dude
fruit loop if you ask me, all be it a clever one
@@goodfodder yeah youre right :p
The guy is a pure genius, he's like a mad scientist of synthesizers!
you sure? have you seen his Ted talk?
He made an organ out of Furbies, this guy's at least a little bit off. An absolute genius, but a mad genius.
Sam, you are the DaVinci of diodes, the Rembrandt of Resistors, the Botticelli of Boolean! I love love love this project! Wow!
Hi, LMNC. I'm the person who made that Rez ROM you're using. If you have ideas for any kind of custom software for the Gameboys, hit me up and I'll see if I can code something together. Aside from the creative side of things, there's a more practical thing I've been thinking about with your MegaMachine. How do you update all the cartridges? If you're interested, I can look into making something that updates them through the serial port so you don't have to flash them manually. There would be a little bootstrap on every ROM that you can trigger when starting the machine, and then all the carts would simultaneously listen to incoming data on the link port and write it to the flashcart.
just replied to your email mate!
Sorry can you say that again.
Lol you guys are on another planet. Respect
That thing already sounds sick! Can't wait to hear the full machine.
This project is an opus. Nostalgia and repurpose in 4 bit sound! Thanks for sharing your dreams realized. I'm impressed... as usual!
8-bit
@@benjaminizzo2551 Oh, so the NES is 7-bit then?
@@mirabilis
I was just referring to the final audio output compression. In other words what you are hearing. I see what you mean though. It is kind of dumb to call it 4 bit just because of the output, when the signal is generated in 8...
A seriously smart, practical and intelligent chap. Just wow.
This is the ultimate proof of "One can NEVER EVER have enough VCAs" :D :D
That pitchbending around the 14min mark is so beautiful I felt shivers down my back, can't wait to hear the actual thing when every single row is working and polyphonic
Sick! You are already opened portal to another dimensions of sounds. Respect.
Amazing. What really impresses me isn't so much that you could do all the engineering to put the thing together, but that you had the vision to know that it would sound cool in the first place.
This machine is already a piece of art. I use LSDJ as my main instrument for many years, and I’m very excited to see the final result. Good luck!
I would need LSD just to understand all this…😂
I love how this gimmicky project is genuinely becoming a technologically complex synth modelled after some of the most complex synths on the market.
Can you play the marble machine song with this? Maybe time for a collab with Wintergatan?
that would be cool! did reach out last year, maybe ill bug him again haha. maybe worth waiting till this machine is done mind! as the marble machine x is rather incredible!!!!
owain bestley This collaboration needs to happen.
But will it fit through your door like the original Marble Machine didn't?
Dan W or the furby organ 😂. You build something in a room it doesn’t cross your mind getting it out!
I already had respect for you, but, my god, my respect just got deeper. The work and BRAINS you put into this, wow!
The way that you have extended upon your original idea has blown my mind... and by the looks of your video, it has also blown yours on numerous occasions. Amazing stuff Sam.
LMNC: "The Furby Organ nearly killed me"
Also LMNC: "Here is a 50 Gameboy Megamachine with 100 VCAs, controllable backlights, and additional drum machine"
You deserve a Nobel prize. Seriously. Wish I had 1% of your brains and craziness.
Out of this world cool.Getting tired just watching your work and effort ,i am sooo impressed and then you make real good music out of these different machinebuilds.BRAVO, standing ovations from Sweden!
When you procrastinate so hard you make the most badass synth known to mankind.
i hate when that happens
WHAT A DRONE, sounds like my dreams
you sound like my dreams hainbach
What a legend, music and engineering my two favorites. I'm watching this as I wait for my 3D printer to print some parts I need for my final project in robotics and automation. Wish you the best, can't wait to see what this evolves into. Cheers from Canada.
Im very glad this crazy idea actually sounds good.
Absolutely brilliant piece of work !!
That’s one Hell of a lot of Game Boys! Love your thinking!
Your very welcome Sam. Its great to be part of such an awsome project. Well done, it already sounds and looks amazing.
Well, all of you deserve our thanks too.
From someone who is only watching and enjoying what is done here.
Mad synthesizer science.
Truly a MEGAMACHINE
Awesome! So excited to see the finished machine.
crazy amount of stuff gone into this project .. amazing
what a knowledge you have build up, amazing!
I've always been into DIY-music all my life but you've definitely inspired me to do it more.
Fingers crossed I'll see you in Stockholm this November! Greetings from Sweden! :)
"You wonder why it took so long? Thats because this fancy thing is a project of its own..." smashes the board behind him on the table :D :D love it!
Man the machine is starting to look so damn clean. Can't wait to see more, getting excited just thinking about what this behemoth will sound like.
It’s cool watching your builds get cleaner over the years! I’m sure they’re getting more reliable too. When you said you wanted continuous control over a and b send I thought to myself “oh no, he’s actually going to hand build - a hundred VCAs” - but i’m glad you found chips for that. This synth will be in a museum some day after you’ve died from some dodgy old capacitor discharging!
Wow, It's really coming along! This will be a beast when it's all together!
This thing is crazy man! I would totally go to see you play this contraption, love the sound of the gameboy
So much work went into making that thing man, I applaud your engineering skills brother, that couldn't have been easy putting it all together like that. You continue to blow me away with your frankensynths just amazing.
Impressive! It has a good look going on, too. Well done!
"it's pretty damn complicated"
yeah just a little bit
Bravo, Sam. Seriously one of my favorite videos yet.
I love you Doctor Snuggles! The resonance sounds awesome!
proof that you can never have enough VCAs.. amazing project, really fun to watch!
Certified genius / mad man. Strike though as necessary. Love your work on this project.
I freaking love how it sounds...
I am stoked to see the end result.
Dang, this vid came out while I was asleep, watched it first thing this morning. PCBs already sold out 😩
I'd pay good money to watch this live in a heartbeat
That's really next level. What a sound!
Amazing work! Keep it up! 😀 👊
I thought that this project was absolutely frivolous -- then I heard the sound. Magnificent! Now I can hardly wait to hear it when it's completed. Brilliant! Gameboy Modular!!!
@13:30 - goddamn this sounds amazing! Ridley Scott should be calling you about the next Blade Runner soundtrack.
I don't watch your content often but when I do, i'm mind blown!
This synth already sounds disgustingly massive. Cannot wait to hear the end result. Pure insanity.
This project is so epic great job!
You're a brilliant madman.
This project is amazing
0:19 That Gameboy in left corner looks kinda sick
This probably the most important technological advancement of our time.
this is going to be incredible!
Mind blowing,,bravo to you sir.
Wow!!!! True modern art!
Yer a madman, but I love you.
Taking the VCA approach after thinking of relays is exactly how I thought of doing it - the relay thing seems natural until you get into detail on why you are doing this.
Congratulations on getting this monster running.
You sir are a genious. Looks and sounds awesome.
Amazing project... Keep creating more beauties, please.
Looking forward to you inventing and manufacturing the next generation of synth one day :-)
Superb work
this sounds so SICK @ 13:50
That's ...... amazing!
Can't wait for the next instalment...
Amazing work!!!
Wasnt sure what was going on - but it's awesome..!
This... this starts to look very very very interesting
this is so cool, thank you, and keep it up!
this made me smile, bravo!!!
Beautiful work!
Love your videos you're a great inspiration! Keep up the great work!
You make me look at the Deckard's Dream PCBs and cry a little. So many components to solder!
Sounds wicked man!
And then Sam looks at the size of this monster and with tears in his eyes he quietly sings to himself "...no, I can't take you anywheeere."
Do not care what is in the video. I press Play. I press 👍. I get that administrative business out of the way. Then I settle down and enjoy the brilliance.
Interesting program architecture
I'm currently building a "Baby 16" sequencer where i borrowed many of your sequencer construction techniques you showed a while back, which is plenty of wires everywhere enough for me. But this is piling on the complexity. You're so brave! 100 vcas my goodness. Simultaneously having panic attack/laughing crazily at it all. Love it. Get some rest though mate!
That is sheer madness! So far, so good!
get this guy a contract doing the music/sound design on the next big scifi cartoon for kids show
This is a work of art!
This. Is. Simply. Brutal! Thx so much :)
You are like The God of sound to me !!!! My God !!! Big effin respect n hail to You, mum !!! ♥️♥️♥️🙏🙏🙏
i'm loving the complexity and semi-unplanned style of this build 👍
i have a similar build style of just adding stuff till it does something, then figure out the details later :)
if you need an extra pair of hands for soldering, let me know, i would be happy to help
speaking of VCAs I'd be excited to see a basic discrete VCA project for your DIY series!
its on its way! ill be making a vid :)
Sam, you are "pulling out all the stops" on this organ !
Good advice to wait until the next day for testing and debugging.
This is an absolute blast watching! lovin all of you're content m8! hope you release a "Mega GAMEBOY killah track" celebrating the goliath of a machine you've built!
This is really, really freakin cool.
WTF. That's the most amazing thing I've ever seen!
wow that's a lot of cables!
Yessssss!!!! So good to finally see the bus board in there! 😉
Sam mate that some crazy sounds. You must be buzzing every time she's on.
Look mum no computer nearly at 200.000 subs mate you should have more. Congats in advance👍🏽😬
I forgot he doesn't have even over 250k @LMNC you indeed deserve the community
Been following since you started and it just keeps getting better. You are a true inspiration. Cheers from western Canada!
This must the most over-engineered chiptune machine ever built and I love it
you think this is complicated.... wait till you see the digital patchbay for the analog circuitry in this haha
LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER Oh wow, digital? I thought you were just going to route the circuitry to analog jacks in a convenient location when you mentioned the patchbay
true art in progress occasionally sounds like getting power drilled in your head.
